Toyota Recalls 228,367 Sienna Hybrid Vehicles: Second-Row Seat Backs May Not Stay Secured in a Crash, Free Dealer Fix
Washington, D.C. — Toyota is recalling 228,367 vehicles in the United States because second-row seat backs may fail to stay secured in a crash, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on October 27. The recall covers certain 2022-2026 Toyota Sienna Hybrid seven-passenger vehicles.
NHTSA said that in certain frontal crashes, the force could disengage the seat back from its locked position, failing to properly restrain occupants and increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy depends on the vehicle's configuration and is free of charge: dealers will update the supplemental restraint system (SRS) electronic control unit software, and for vehicles equipped with the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) package, dealers will replace the two second-row seat backs.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on December 7, 2026. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331; Toyota's numbers for this recall are 26TB24 and 26TA24. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or check NHTSA's website to see whether their vehicle is included.
